    There are supprt services for under 18 years, I don't know what area of the country you live in but if you ring the council mainswitchboard and speak to a customer services advisor there, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

    Please go and talk to them and see what support you can get. Good luck.

    Please read question properly before making any comments. It's very insensitive to the OP.


    MoneyMaker was refering to another post made by the OP, in which they state that their Biological mother lives with them.

    Why do you need to move out of your mum's house if housing benefit is already paying for this? and from what it seems is fully furnished.

    Yes but the OP clearly states that her MUM who passed away adopted her and was her Grandmother, her biological Mother doesn't have any legal rights or indeed it appears much input i.e. doesn't financially support the OP.
    A complex situation.
